Bruno Barrett

My family and I adopted Bruno Barrett back in August of 2014 and we couldn’t be happier! Bruno is such a wonderful addition to the family. He fits right in! He is goofy, loving, gentle and well mannered. When we adopted him we were told that he was heartworm negative. A couple of days after adopting Bruno we received a phone call stating that we was heartworm positive. We were told that two white boxers were brought in at the same time and their records were mixed up. Well, just last week my husband took Bruno for a check up at the vet and he decided to have a heartworm test performed…..Bruno is heartworm negative! I am so very happy for him! I wanted to pass this information on to you so the other boxer rescued at the same time could be assessed again to find out for sure whether he is positive or negative. I didn’t want him to be positive and not get treated.
Thank you for all you do. These creatures are absolutely amazing and my life would be incomplete without one. Bruno truly is a blessing, I absolutely adore him! What you do matters….don’t ever stop!

Sincerely,
Sean and Carri Hersh
Bruno’s very proud parents

Bobby Benson is a beautiful flashy fawn boy with a face you won’t forget. A perfect white T-bone over his muzzle and forehead highlight striking, alert amber eyes. ABR rescued him from Palm Valley so he’s finishing up his preventive medication for tick borne illnesses and he’s still getting his health back. Some of our Boxers from there are so poorly treated it takes a vet visit or 2 and some time for them to heal. Remarkably, he is heartworm negative. He is happy to have a 7 year old female Boxer and 17 year old female Dachsund as his new friends. He does not live with cats or kids so we don’t know how he relates to them.

Bobby is a calm, easy going guy who likes to amble around and be near his new foster family. He perks up for unfamiliar noises and the occasional squirrel. He is learning commands like sit, space, gentle and wait and he is getting pretty good at waiting his turn for pets and attention (something that’s usually hard for new rescues to do.) He does well on leash with his Boxer sister.

He’s not a fan of his crate, but he goes on in and settles down so long as someone is home. This 5 year old does not like it when his new family leaves; can’t blame him now he finally has one. Bobby Benson has had a pretty rough ride so far just getting to a safe, warm loving family. He has a leg or two left in his journey before he’ll be ready for the transition to a forever family. We’ll do our best to let you know how he’s doing and how close he is to joining your family.

Our boxers would like to thank all of our donors and bidders that participated in our online auction. We made approximately $11,500 to help with the purchase of our new kennel!! We couldn’t be happier! Although there were so many volunteers that helped make the auction possible there are just a few that need mentioning. Nikki Valencia worked every single day for three months on this. She was actually the leader on every aspect of the auction. Her cool head kept me calm and I can’t thank her enough. Thanks to Rhonda Mates and Fair Woods. Carol Eskew jumped in with both feet, as usual, and Greg and Evie Walberg went above and beyond in donations and support for ABR. We hope everyone will take a short road trip to visit the kennel the first of the year. Thank you... ... See MoreSee Less
